looking at the envy 15 (2011-2012) or the envy spectre as my new laptop. I like the size of the spectre but it does come with lower specs (CPU, memory, graphics card). I plan to get into video editing, photo editing, maybe some website creation and wanted to know if a lack of a dedicated graphics card will lead to a poor experience or should I opt for the envy 15 which offers a switchable graphics with a 1 GB radeon GPU. I'm not going to be doing anything to heavy, photshop, some movie maker software, etc..etc...

is intel 3000 graphics chip enough for that?

Also, can I use the minidisplay port and hdmi to attach two external monitors?
